How To Find the BEST Entry Zones (Smart Money Doesn’t Chase Price)
Most traders lose money not because their direction is wrong, but because their entry is trash.
They buy the top of a green candle.
They sell the bottom of a red one.
And then they blame indicators, news, or “bad luck”.
Smart money plays a different game.
They don’t ask “Where will price go?”
They ask “Where is price most likely to react?”
That’s where BEST Entry Zones are born.
Why “Entry Zone” Matters More Than Direction
Direction without location is gambling.
You can be bullish and still lose money if you enter:
- Too early
- Too late
- At high liquidity zones
- Inside chop
Entry zones give you:
- Tight stop loss
- Better R:R
- Higher accuracy
- Psychological calm
Professional traders wait. Retail traders chase.
Rule #1: Price Moves From Low Interest → High Interest
Markets don’t move randomly.
Price moves away from low participation areas and reacts near high participation zones.
Your job is to locate:
- Where traders were not interested (LVN)
- Where big players will defend or attack
The 5 BEST Entry Zones Smart Traders Use
1. Low Volume Node (LVN) Rejection
(Institutional Favorite)
When price returns to a Low Volume Node, it usually:
- Rejects fast
- Moves impulsively
- Traps late traders
Best Entry:
- Wait for price to tap LVN
- Enter on rejection candle (15m / 5m)
- Stop just above/below LVN
💡 LVNs are highways, not parking lots.
2. VWAP Deviation Zones
(Mean Reversion Power)
Institutions benchmark executions around VWAP.
Best entries happen at:
- VWAP ±1
- VWAP ±2
- VWAP bands after expansion
Entry Confirmation:
- Wick rejection
- Delta divergence
- Volume absorption
Never chase price away from VWAP.
3. Previous Day High / Low
(Liquidity Goldmine)
PDH & PDL are stop-loss magnets.
Price often:
- Sweeps liquidity
- Fakes breakout
- Reverses sharply
BEST Entry:
- After liquidity sweep
- On rejection or structure shift
- NOT on breakout candle
4. Order Block + Volume Confirmation
(Smart Money Footprints)
An order block is valid only if volume agrees.
High-quality entry when:
- Order block aligns with LVN
- Volume spikes on reaction
- Footprint shows absorption
No volume = no trade.
5. Range High / Range Low Extremes
(Market Maker Behavior)
Markets spend most time in ranges.
BEST entries happen:
- At range extremes
- After fake breakouts
- With decreasing volume
Never trade the middle of the range.
That’s where accounts die.
Multi-Timeframe Entry Blueprint (Simple & Deadly)
Step 1:
4H / 1H → Mark:
- LVNs
- Range highs/lows
- PDH/PDL
Step 2:
15m → Wait for:
- Rejection
- Structure shift
- Volume confirmation
Step 3:
5m → Execute:
- Tight SL
- Defined target
- No emotions
What Kills Most Entries (Avoid These)
❌ Entering in the middle
❌ No HTF level
❌ Chasing breakout candles
❌ Trading without volume
❌ Hoping instead of waiting
If you feel FOMO, it’s already a bad entry.
Final Truth (Read This Twice)
The BEST entry zone feels boring.
Price comes to you.
Confirmation appears.
Risk is small.
You feel calm.
If an entry feels exciting—
you’re late.
